Finishing up a comic for Free Comic Book Day 2024 by Jerzy Drozd I'm joined by my fellow teacher and comics collaborator Jeff Davidson while we work on some of the final art for Aliens Love Dogs, an 80s cartoon-inspired comic we're releasing on Free Comic Book Day 2024 at Thunderfury Comics in Marion, OH (https://ift.tt/mDQcXfl). We spend the hour discussing my residency at Tri-Rivers Career Center, which was made possible by a generous grant from the Ohio Arts Council (https://ift.tt/hQcnSNW). You can look for more about this comic on https://ift.tt/1WK30iw in the weeks to come. #FCBD #dogs #comics #fantasy #kidlit #80scartoons viaYouTube

On the blog! Some of the unused concepts for the #DoctorBaer cover.

But when years of hard work are demolished along with the guardian that rendered harmless his collection of dangerous objects, he'll enter the fray.

TPD 339 – Gathering Experiences for the Classroom (& Myself) by Jerzy Drozd A thoughtful question/wondering came to me via the Doctor Baer AMA form (https://jdrozd.com/ama/) : I know a big part of how you advocate for comics and a thing you’ve shared that brings you a lot of joy is the teaching part of what you do– teaching comics. Through the long journey that is making a graphic novel, do you find that you pick up new tidbits/angles/perspectives/lessons that you can apply to teaching your students in the classroom? Whether or not you’re planning on working with students, reflecting on your artistic experience only enriches it. But I also share how it leads to teachable moments and lessons plans that are fun for beginners. Links mentioned: • Documenting Your Classroom Experience (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLvyx3QXtDw) , a workshop I led for the Ohio Arts Council back in 2020 • How to be a Teaching Artist (https://ift.tt/QxFqSrj) , a TPD mini-series I did for Art Soundoff 2020 (https://artsoundoff.com) • Learn more about The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue (https://doctorbaer.com) • Suggest a topic for TPD here (https://jdrozd.com/ama) • TPD theme music by Eliott Drozd • Intro VO by Tara Platt (https://ift.tt/r0mJRF2) Subscribe to the podcast (https://ift.tt/2s5S8oN) viaYouTube

Hosts Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan were generous enough to invite to sit in for their roundtable celebration of their milestone, taking questions from them and from listeners. Together we talked about identifying ideas with juice in them, navigating…

Doctor Baer's House - Painted

It took me a few months to get to it, but I finally painted the Doctor Baer piece I started in October. This was another experiment painting in Procreate. I purchased Nathan Brown’s Procreate Brushes, which I feel do a pretty good job of replicating natural media. But I still haven’t quite found a procedure that feels as comfortable to me as coloring in Clip Studio Paint. There are a few…

Exploring Doctor Baer In-World Artifacts

When I was a teen my art teachers and guidance counselors recommended I didn’t go to art school. Those schools were for people who make real art, like painting, sculpture, fiber arts, etc. I wanted to be a comics artist, which they told me was commercial art (and it was probably my own lack of self-esteem, but I always received their tone as condescending). For years I wore the commercial art…
